Abstract
Premature cardiovascular (CV) death remains the leading cause of mortality in patients with endstage renal disease (ESRD). Modification of conventional CV risk factors, such as dyslipidaemia, has only limited impact on CV disease in this population [1, 2], an observation that has prompted the search for novel mechanisms and therapeutic targets. The publication in this issue [3] provides a potential link between sleep apnoea and fluid overload in patients receiving haemodialysis, and identifies a novel, potentially remediable, risk factor for CVD in this population.
